Sputnik/Gavriil Grigorov/Pool via REUTERSPresident Vladimir Putin's spy chief warned the West on Wednesday that it risked disastrous consequences if the United States and its European allies stoke a direct military confrontation with Russia over Ukraine. Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), said Russia would punish any NATO states that help Ukraine strike deep into Russia with long-range Western weapons. Russia said Ukraine fired US ATACMS missiles into Russia early on Tuesday morning and suggested that the United States must have helped the strikes with satellite data, targeting and military personnel. Peskov said that while neither Russia nor the United States had signed the convention on the prohibition of anti-personnel mines, Ukraine had. "It is important for us to achieve our goals which are well known to everyone," Peskov told reporters.

G20 Boosts COP29 With Financial Pledges Yet Leaves Fossil Fuel Goals Unaddressed At COP29, world leaders balance climate finance commitments with fossil fuel backsliding concerns as urgent negotiations continueAt the COP29 climate talks kicking off this week in Baku, Azerbaijan, the global dilemma of climate finance takes center stage, especially following the recent G20 summit where leaders acknowledged the pressing need for financial support to mitigate climate change effects. Adding to the frustration, the absence of explicit references to fossil fuel phaseout from G20 discussions led many to question the commitment to meaningful climate action. Many campaigners noted the outcome as disappointing, especially since the document refrained from forceful calls for reductions to fossil fuel dependencies. Some experts noted the G20's agreement to explore taxation for the ultra-wealthy could potentially generate necessary funds for climate action. Observers took note of Saudi Arabia's strong opposition to pledges affirming fossil fuel phaseout, branded as "a wrecking ball" disrupting the negotiations process.

Just about everyone, whether left or right, wants the Israel-Gaza war to end — except those whose net worths depend on it. One such war profiteer is Kraig Kayser MBA ’84, the chair of Cornell’s Board of Trustees and arguably the most powerful figure in University affairs. Since the war in Gaza broke out, Kayser has seen his investment in Moog skyrocket by millions. What makes it all the more unconscionable is that, while building his fortune off of war, Kayser leads Cornell’s Board of Trustees, the highest governing body at our University. As chair, Kayser has an outsized role in appointing the president and provost.

With no auditions, no experience necessary and no strict commitment, Pole Posse is not like other dance groups on campus. Whether a beginner or a pro, all aspiring pole performers are welcome. “If you could do a pole walk, you could perform. Pole walk is [when] you stand and you walk around the pole,” said Jacqueline Bass ’27, the vice president of Pole Posse. “People with less knowledge immediately associate [pole dancing] with sex work and stripping, which is understandable because its roots are in stripping and sex work,” Bass said.

Pietrangelo claims the state must offer the surplus land to the town/county first, then sell the parcels at fair market price. If the town wants to resell it, the land must first be offered back to the state. On Sept. 3, attorneys with the N.H. Department of Justice filed a motion to dismiss on behalf of state officials on Sept. 3. That clearly suggests fraud by defendants/respondents on the court.”The DOJ attorneys says Pietrangelo’s allegations are “actually baseless and taken out of context.”The state filed a response Nov. 15 saying any suggestion of fraud should be disregarded. “Furthermore, NHDOT simply has not been involved in the planning or construction of the skate park nor has the plaintiff presented evidence showing this assertion is false.
